AI Technical Summary
Conventional PHR reporting techniques do not specify how to determine and report multiple PHR values when a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) iteration is configured for multiple TRPs, and they do not define which PUSCH transmission should be used as the basis for the reported PHR value, whether the PHR value should be actual or virtual, or how to organize multiple PHR values within a single report.
The described techniques provide methods for a UE to report multiple PHR values for different sets of linked PUSCH repetitions by determining PHR values for each set according to preconfigured rules and transmitting them via a single PHR report, specifying which PUSCH transmissions to use, whether the values are actual or virtual, and defining the order of reported values.
This approach improves PHR reporting efficiency by reducing signaling complexity and resource utilization, allowing for accurate and organized reporting of PHR values for multiple TRP PUSCH repetitions.

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17 / 390,644, entitled "TECHNIQUES FOR REPORTING POWER HEADROOM FOR MULTIPLE UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL REPETITIONS," by Khoshnevisan et al., which was filed on July 30, 2021 and is assigned to the assignee of this application.
[0002] The following relates to wireless communications, including techniques for reporting power headroom (PHR) for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions. [Background technology]
[0003]
[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcasts, and the like. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems, sometimes referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM), etc. A wireless multiple-access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may in some cases be known as user equipment (UE).
[0004] In some wireless communication systems, a UE may report a power headroom (PHR) metric associated with an uplink transmission to improve coordination with a network (e.g., a base station). When a UE is transmitting uplink communications using multiple uplink beams, such as when having multiple transmit / receive points (mTRPs), the UE may report a separate PHR value for each respective uplink beam. Separately, the UE may also be scheduled to transmit multiple repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. For example, the UE may be configured to transmit multiple repetitions of a PUSCH transmission using a first beam and transmit multiple repetitions of a PUSCH transmission using a second beam. However, some conventional PHR reporting techniques do not specify how to determine and report multiple PHR values when PUSCH repetitions are configured for multiple TRPs. Summary of the Invention

In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable a user equipment (UE) to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. For example, a UE may be scheduled to perform multiple linked PUSCH transmissions, including a first set of linked PUSCH transmissions and a second set of linked PUSCH transmissions. The UE may determine a PHR value for each set of linked PUSCH transmissions according to a rule (e.g., a preconfigured PHR reporting configuration), and may then report one or more of the PHR values via a single PHR report.
[0006] A method for wireless communication in a UE is described. The method may include receiving control signaling from a base station scheduling a set of a plurality of uplink transmission repetitions, the set of the plurality of uplink transmission repetitions including a first set of repetitions associated with a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set, determining a first PHR value of the first set of repetitions and a second PHR value of the second set of repetitions, where at least the second PHR value is determined according to a first rule as either an actual value based on a transmit power of one of the sets of the plurality of uplink transmission repetitions or a virtual value based on a default transmit power setting, the first rule relating to the PHR determination for the plurality of sets of repetitions corresponding to the plurality of SRS resource sets, generating a PHR report including the first PHR value, the second PHR value, or both, and transmitting the PHR report to the base station.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0051]
[0063] In some wireless communication systems, a user equipment (UE) may report a power headroom (PHR) metric associated with an uplink transmission to improve coordination with a network (e.g., a base station). If a UE is transmitting uplink communications using multiple uplink beams, such as with multiple transmit / receive points (mTRPs), the UE may report a separate PHR value (e.g., a PHR metric) for each respective uplink beam. Separately, the UE may also be scheduled to transmit multiple repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. For example, the UE may be configured to transmit multiple repetitions of a PUSCH transmission using a first beam and multiple repetitions of a PUSCH transmission using a second beam.
[0052]
[0064] However, some conventional PHR reporting techniques do not specify how to determine and report multiple PHR values when PUSCH repetitions are configured for multiple TRPs. Furthermore, conventional PHR reporting techniques do not specify which PUSCH transmission from a set of linked PUSCH transmissions should be used as the basis for the reported PHR value, or whether the UE should report an actual PHR value or a virtual PHR value (e.g., an actual PHR value determined based on the transmit power of an actual uplink transmission, or a virtual value determined based on a default transmit power setting). Furthermore, some PHR reporting techniques do not define how multiple PHR values should be organized within a single PHR report.
[0053]
[0065] Therefore, to improve PHR reporting at a UE, aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reporting multiple PHR values for different sets of linked PUSCH repetitions. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable a UE to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. For example, a UE may be scheduled to perform multiple linked PUSCH transmissions, including a first set of linked PUSCH transmissions and a second set of linked PUSCH transmissions. The UE may determine a PHR value for each set of linked PUSCH transmissions according to a rule (e.g., a preconfigured PHR reporting configuration) and then report one or more of the PHR values via a single PHR report.
[0054]
[0066] In some aspects, each rule for reporting PHR values defines which PUSCH transmission from each set of linked PUSCH transmissions should be used to determine the PHR value for the set and whether the reported PHR values can / should include actual or virtual PHR values. In some aspects, a PHR report sent by the UE to the network may include an indicator or field indicating the relative order of the reported PHR values and whether each reported PHR value includes an actual or virtual PHR value. The UE may indicate via UE capability signaling whether it supports a particular PHR reporting configuration.
[0055]
[0067] Aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Additional aspects of the present disclosure are described in the context of example resource configurations and example process flows. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow charts relating to techniques for reporting PHRs for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions.
[0056]
[0068] 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions according to aspects of the disclosure. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.
[0057]
[0069] The base stations 105 may be distributed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100 and may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which the UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.
[0058]
[0070] The UEs 115 may be distributed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be fixed or mobile or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are shown in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, base stations 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment) as shown in FIG.
[0059]
[0071] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130, with each other, or both. For example, the base stations 105 may interface with the core network 130 through one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an S1, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations 105 may communicate with each other via the backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface), either directly (e.g., directly between the base stations 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links.
[0060]
[0072] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include or be referred to as a base transceiver station, wireless base station, access point, wireless transceiver, NodeB, eNodeB (eNB), next generation NodeB or giga-NodeB (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), Home NodeB, Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology by one skilled in the art.
[0061]
[0073] The UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, and a "device" may be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among others. The UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, the UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various articles, such as an appliance, or a vehicle, a meter, among other examples.
[0062]
[0074] The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, which may act as relays, as shown in FIG. 1, as well as base stations 105 and network equipment, including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among others.
[0063]
[0075] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 on one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication links 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication links 125 may include a portion (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) of a radio frequency spectrum band that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry collection signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation on the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communication with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. The UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation can be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers.
[0064]
[0076] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have collection or control signaling to coordinate operation with respect to other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an evolved universal mobile telecommunication system terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) absolute radio frequency channel number (EARFCN)) and may be arranged according to a channel raster for discovery by the UE 115. A carrier may operate in a standalone mode, where initial collection and connection may be made by the UE 115 over the carrier, or the carrier may operate in a non-standalone mode, where a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or different radio access technology).
[0065]
[0077] The communication links 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include uplink transmissions from the UE 115 to the base station 105 or downlink transmissions from the base station 105 to the UE 115. A carrier may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in TDD mode).
[0066]
[0078] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the carrier or the “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of several determined bandwidths for a particular radio access technology carrier (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 Megahertz (MHz)). The devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., the base station 105, the UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communication over a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communication over one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a base station 105 or UE 115 that supports simultaneous communication over carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate over a portion (e.g., a sub-band, BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.
[0067]
[0079] A signal waveform transmitted on a carrier may be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using a multi-carrier modulation (MCM) technique such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements the UE 115 receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate may be for the UE 115. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communication with the UE 115.
[0068]
[0080] One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, where the numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs having the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time, and communication for the UE 115 may be limited to one or more active BWPs.
[0069]
[0081] The time interval for the base station 105 or the UE 115 may be, for example, T s =1 / (Δf max N f ) seconds, where Δf max may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and Nf may represent the maximum discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size supported. The communication resource time intervals may be organized according to radio frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).
[0070]
[0082] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into several slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include several symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of a cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems 100, a slot may be further divided into multiple minislots that include one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may include one or more (e.g., N f The time length of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the frequency band of operation.
[0071]
[0083] A subframe, slot, minislot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., within a burst of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).
[0072]
[0084] The physical channels may be multiplexed on the carriers according to various techniques. The physical control channels and the physical data channels may be multiplexed on the downlink carriers using, for example, one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM), a frequency division multiplexing (FDM), or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for the physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth of the carrier or a subset of the system bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESET) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search the control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates at one or more aggregation levels configured in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level for the control channel candidates may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with the coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for sending control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for sending control information to a particular UE 115 .
[0073]
[0085] In some examples, the base stations 105 may be mobile and therefore provide communication coverage to moving geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, the different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include a heterogeneous network, for example, where different types of base stations 105 provide coverage to various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.
[0074]
[0086] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable or low latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). The UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communications may include private or group communications and may be supported by one or more services, such as push-to-talk, video, data, etc. Support for ultra-reliable, low latency functions may include service prioritization, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low latency, and ultra-reliable low latency may be used interchangeably herein.
[0075]
[0087] In some examples, the UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol or a D2D protocol). One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communication may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105 or may not be able to receive transmissions from the base station 105 in some examples. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to all other UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, the base station 105 facilitates scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between UEs 115 without the involvement of the base station 105.
[0076]
[0088] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) that manages access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) that routes packets or interconnects to external networks. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for UEs 115 served by base stations 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be forwarded through a user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to IP services 150 for one or more network operators. The IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.
[0077]
[0089] Some of the network devices, such as the base stations 105, may include subcomponents, such as an access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with the UE 115 through one or more other access network transmitting entities 145, which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission / reception points (TRPs). Each access network transmitting entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or integrated into a single network device (e.g., the base station 105).
[0078]
[0090] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). The 300 MHz to 3 GHz region is commonly known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter in length. Although UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macrocell to serve UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmissions using lower frequencies and longer waves in the shortwave (high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.
[0079]
[0091] The wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may utilize Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), LTE Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band, such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. When operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, devices such as the base station 105 and the UE 115 may utilize carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation in an unlicensed band may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with a component carrier operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operation in an unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among others.
[0080]
[0092] The base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that may be used to utilize techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or UE 115 may be located in one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be located together in an antenna assembly such as an antenna tower. In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located in various geographic locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array with several rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming of communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panels may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted through the antenna ports.
[0081]
[0093] A base station 105 or a UE 115 may use MIMO communications to exploit multipath signal propagation and increase spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such techniques may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. Multiple signals may be transmitted by a transmitting device, for example, via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, multiple signals may be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits related to the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multiple-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.
[0082]
[0094] Beamforming, sometimes referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used in a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., base station 105, UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., transmit beam, receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals communicated through antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating in a particular orientation relative to the antenna array are subject to constructive interference, while other signals are subject to destructive interference. Adjustment of signals communicated through antenna elements may include a transmitting or receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried through an antenna element associated with the device. The adjustment associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting or receiving device, or to some other orientation).
[0083]
[0095] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may use beam sweeping techniques as part of a beamforming operation. For example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform a beamforming operation for directional communication with the UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted by the base station 105 multiple times in different directions. For example, the base station 105 may transmit signals according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different directions of transmission. The transmissions in different beam directions may be used (e.g., by a transmitting device such as the base station 105 or by a receiving device such as the UE 115) to identify beam directions for later transmission or reception by the base station 105.
[0084]
[0096] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by the base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with a receiving device, such as the UE 115). In some examples, the beam direction associated with a transmission along the single beam direction may be determined based on signals transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, the UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals transmitted in different directions by the base station 105 and may report to the base station 105 an indication of the signal that the UE 115 received with the highest signal quality or possibly an acceptable signal quality.
[0085]
[0097] In some examples, transmission by a device (e.g., by the base station 105 or the UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from the base station 105 to the UE 115). The UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. The base station 105 may transmit a reference signal (e.g., cell-specific reference signal (CRS), channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)) that may or may not be precoded. The UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., multi-panel type codebook, linear combination type codebook, port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted in one or more directions by the base station 105, the UE 115 may employ similar techniques for transmitting a signal multiple times in different directions (e.g., to identify a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE 115) or for transmitting a signal in a single direction (e.g., to transmit data to a receiving device).
[0086]
[0098] A receiving device (e.g., UE 115) may attempt multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals, such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals, from the base station 105. For example, the receiving device may attempt multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing the received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, or by processing the received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which may be referred to as "listening" with different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, the receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned to a beam direction determined based on listening with different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or possibly acceptable signal quality based on listening with multiple beam directions).
[0087]
[0099] The wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communication at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. The Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate on logical channels. The Medium Access Control (MAC) layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer may establish, configure, and maintain an RRC connection between the UE 115 and the base station 105 or core network 130, which supports radio bearers for user plane data. In the physical layer, the transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.
[0088]
[0100] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may support retransmission of data to increase the likelihood of successful reception of the data. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data is correctly received on the communication link 125. HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, in which the device may provide HARQ feedback in a particular slot for data received in a previous symbol in that slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot or according to some other time interval.
[0089]
[0101] The UE 115 and base station 105 of the wireless communication system 100 may support techniques for reporting multiple PHR values for different sets of linked PUSCH repetitions. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable the UE 115 of the wireless communication system 100 to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. For example, the UE 115 may be scheduled to perform multiple linked PUSCH transmissions, including a first set of linked PUSCH transmissions and a second set of linked PUSCH transmissions. The UE 115 may determine a PHR value for each set of linked PUSCH transmissions according to a rule (e.g., a preconfigured PHR reporting configuration) and may then report one or more of the PHR values via a single PHR report.
[0090]
[0102] In some aspects, each rule for reporting PHR values defines which PUSCH transmission from each set of linked PUSCH transmissions should be used to determine the PHR value for the set and whether the reported PHR values can / should include actual or virtual PHR values. In some aspects, a PHR report sent by the UE 115 to a network (e.g., a base station 105 of the wireless communication system 100) may include an indicator or field indicating the relative order of the reported PHR values and whether each reported PHR value includes an actual or virtual PHR value. The UE 115 may indicate via UE capability signaling whether it supports a particular PHR reporting configuration.
[0091]
[0103] Techniques described herein may provide improved PHR reporting in the context of associated linked PUSCH transmissions performed using multiple beams at a UE 115 (e.g., an mTRP). In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable a UE 115 to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. By allowing multiple PHR values to be reported for an mTRP PUSCH repetition, aspects of the present disclosure may improve PHR reporting at a UE 115 and reduce the amount of signaling used for PHR reporting, which may lead to reduced control signaling and more efficient utilization of resources.
[0092]
[0104] 2 illustrates an example of a resource configuration 200 that supports techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. Aspects of the resource configuration 200 may implement or be implemented by the wireless communication system 100.
[0093]
[0105] As previously described herein, in some wireless communication systems, the UE 115 may be configured to report a PHR value associated with an uplink transmission to improve coordination with the network (e.g., a base station). In some cases, the PHR value may indicate how much additional transmit power may be used by reporting a transmit power for a PUSCH transmission relative to a maximum transmit power that may be used. For example, the PHR value may be reported according to Equation 1 below:
[0094]
number
[0095] Here (term
[0096]
number
[0097] From)P O is a value for controlling the received power level (e.g., a reference power level value), (the term α b,f,c α from (j) is a value for partial path loss compensation (e.g., a reference path loss compensation value), and (the term PL b,f,c (q d )PL from index q d is a path loss value based on a measured downlink reference signal having a path loss value (e.g., a reference path loss value associated with the reference signal). TF,b,f,c (i) may depend on the resource allocation and modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the PUSCH transmission, and the term f b,f,c (i,l) may be associated with a closed-loop power control based on a transmit power control (TPC) command with closed-loop index l.
[0098]
[0106] The PUSCH transmission may be configured with a set of uplink power control parameters. Furthermore, whether there are two separate loops for closed-loop power control may depend on whether two PUSCH-PC-AdjustmentStates are configured. If so, the TPC commands may be applied separately for the two respective closed power control loops. In reporting the PHR value for the PUSCH transmission, and with reference to Equation 1 above, P O and α values may be defined for open loop power control (e.g., P O -AlphaSets), where each member in the set is an identifier (e.g., P O -PUSCH-AlphaSetID: 0, 1, ..., 29). Each member of the list may have an identifier for a path loss reference signal (e.g., pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-ID: 0, 1, ..., 3). Furthermore, each member of the list may have an identifier for mapping to PUSCH for Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) Resource Indicator (SRI) (e.g., sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId: 0, .., 15). In other words, the network may support up to 16 (e.g., 0 to 15) sets of power control parameters for closed loop power control. Each SRI-PUSCH mapping identifier (sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId) may include multiple parameters, including sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId, sri-PUSCH-PathlossRefernceRS-Id, sri-P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId, and sri-PUSCH-ClosedLoopIndex.
[0099]
[0107] In some aspects, sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId may be used as a code point of the SRI field in the downlink control information (DCI). In other words, a DCI message scheduling a PUSCH transmission may indicate which set of power control parameters (e.g., which sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId) should be used for the respective PUSCH transmission. For example, if the value of the SRI field in the uplink DCI message scheduling a PUSCH transmission is x, then the uplink power control parameters (e.g., PLRS, P_O, α closed-loop index) corresponding to sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId=x may be used for the scheduled PUSCH transmission. The SRI field in the DCI may be up to 4 bits depending on the respective configuration of the network, which may allow for indicating up to 16 values of x (e.g., 16 sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId values).
[0100]
[0108] Different wireless communications systems (e.g., wireless communications system 100) may support different types of PHR reports for reporting PHR values at UE 115, including Type 1 for PUSCH transmissions, Type 2 for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions, and Type 3 for SRS transmissions. Aspects of the present disclosure are described primarily in the context of Type 1 PHR reports for PUSCH transmissions. However, aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented in the context of other types of PHR reports (e.g., Type 2, Type 3). Thus, aspects of the present disclosure should not be considered limited to only Type 1 PHR reports, unless otherwise stated herein.
[0101]
[0109] In some implementations, the UE 115 may determine an actual PHR value for a PUSCH transmission performed on a given component carrier or serving cell. As used herein, the term "actual PHR value" may refer to a PHR value determined based on a transmit power of a PUSCH transmission (e.g., a transmit power of an actual uplink transmission repetition). The UE 115 may determine an actual PHR value for an actual PUSCH transmission on a given component carrier or serving cell according to Equation 2 below.
[0102]
number
[0103] Here, P CMAX,f,c (i) is the UE configured maximum output power after backoff due to power management (backoff due to maximum power reduction (MPR)). The remaining parameters in Equation 2 above are the same as the parameters for determining the PUSCH transmit power defined in Equation 1 above.
[0104]
[0110] In additional or alternative implementations, the UE 115 may determine a virtual PHR value for a PUSCH transmission performed on a given component carrier or serving cell. Compared to an "actual PHR value" determined based on the transmit power of an uplink transmission, the term "virtual PHR value" may refer to a PHR value determined based on some "reference" or "virtual" PUSCH transmission using a set of reference or default parameters (e.g., default transmit power settings). The UE 115 may determine the virtual PHR value for the reference / virtual PUSCH transmission on a given component carrier or serving cell according to Equation 3 below.
[0105]
number
[0106] Where:
[0107]
number
[0108] is calculated here assuming a backoff (e.g., the MPR value is assumed to be 0 dB). The remaining parameters in Equation 3 above are j, i, l and q d may be determined based on some set of default / reference parameters, where P O and α are determined according to a default set of parameters for p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=0, and PL is determined by default parameters corresponding to pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-ID=0 and closed loop index l=0. In this regard, the set of default transmit power settings used to determine the virtual PHR value may include, but is not limited to, a reference power level value (P O ), a reference pathloss compensation value (α), a reference pathloss value associated with the reference signal (PL), a reference closed-loop index (l), or any combination thereof.
[0109]
[0111] When reporting a PHR value in the context of uplink carrier aggregation (CA), the PHR report may be triggered by the MAC layer. Furthermore, the PHR report may depend on one or more of a set of timers (e.g., phr-PeriodicTimer, phr-ProhibitTimer), a power change greater than a configurable threshold for a PL RS used for power control in any uplink component carrier, activation of a secondary cell (SCell), and the active BWP of a configured component carrier being changed (e.g., from dormant to non-dormant).
[0110]
[0112] When triggered, the PHR report is transmitted / reported in the PHR MAC-CE on the first available PUSCH transmission corresponding to the initial transmission of a transport block that may accommodate the MAC-CE as a result of logical channel prioritization (LCP). The PUSCH transmission for which the PHR value may be reported may be dynamic (e.g., scheduled by DCI message), configured via configured grant, or both. In some cases, the UE 115 may transmit a PHR report reporting a PHR value(s) for a single component carrier. Additionally or alternatively, in the case where the UE 115 is configured with multiple component carriers for PUSCH transmission, the PHR MAC-CE may include a PHR report for multiple component carriers if "multiple PHR reporting" is enabled (e.g., "multiple PHR" is enabled via RRC signaling from the network). In other words, if the network has enabled multiple PHR reporting, a single PHR report may indicate PHR values for multiple component carriers. Otherwise, the PHR value may be reported only for a single component carrier (eg, the component carrier of the primary cell (PCell)) and a single-entry MAC-CE format for PHR reporting may be used.
[0111]
[0113] A PHR MAC-CE message (e.g., a PHR report) may include a "P" value indicating whether the AMC entity applies a power backoff due to power management (e.g., due to an MPR-related power backoff) as well as a "V" value indicating whether an actual or virtual PHR is being reported. In some aspects, a corresponding P_CMAX field may be present in the PHR MAC-CE only if the reported PHR value includes an actual PHR value. Furthermore, when reporting PHR values for multiple component carriers (e.g., multiple PHR reports), a bitmap in the PHR MAC-CE may be used to report PHR values for multiple component carriers (e.g., component carriers other than the PCell).
[0112]
[0114] In the context of multiple PHR reports (e.g., reporting PHR values for multiple component carriers), the reported PHR values may include actual or virtual PHR values for the respective component carriers. For example, if a PHR report on a first component carrier indicates PHR values for the first component carrier and the second component carrier, the PHR value for the second component carrier may include an actual PHR value (e.g., a PHR value determined based on the transmit power of the actual PUSCH transmission) or a virtual PHR value (e.g., a PHR value determined using a reference format or default parameter settings). In this example, the type of PHR value reported for the second component carrier (e.g., actual or virtual PHR value) may be based on whether a PUSCH transmission is present on the second component carrier at the time of the PHR report (e.g., within a slot / transmission time interval (TTI) of the first PUSCH transmission on the first component carrier). In addition, the type of PHR value reported for the second component carrier (e.g., actual or virtual PHR value) may be based on whether the PUSCH transmission on the second component carrier is scheduled by a DCI message that meets a respective timeline condition. The timeline condition may be based on the processing capabilities and required processing time at the UE 115. If the timeline condition is met, an actual PHR value may be reported, otherwise, if the timeline condition is not met, a virtual PHR value may be reported.
[0113]
[0115] For example, referring to the resource allocation scheme 205-a illustrated in FIG. 2, the UE 115 may be scheduled via a DCI message 215 to perform multiple PUSCH transmissions 220 in multiple component carriers 210 (e.g., the first component carrier 210-a, the second component carrier 210-b, the third component carrier 210-c, and the fourth component carrier 210-d). For example, a first DCI message 215-a received via the first component carrier 210-a may schedule a PUSCH transmission 220-a on the first component carrier 210-a. In this example, a PHR may be reported via a PUSCH transmission 220-a in the first component carrier 210-a in slot n. Additionally, multiple PHR reporting may be enabled for the UE 115 (e.g., via RRC signaling). In other words, the PUSCH transmission 220-a may carry a MAC-CE PHR value for each of the respective component carriers 210-a, 210-b, 210-c, and 210-d.
[0114]
[0116] In this example, the actual PHR value may be reported for the first component carrier 210-a (e.g., for the PUSCH transmission 220-a). Furthermore, the actual PHR value may be reported via the PUSCH transmission 220-a for the second component carrier 210-b (e.g., for the PUSCH transmission 220-b) based on the PUSCH transmission 220-b being scheduled in the same slot as the first PUSCH transmission 220-a carrying the PHR report and based on the timeline condition 225 being met. The timeline condition 225 may be determined based on the relative timing of the first DCI message 215-a scheduling the first PUSCH transmission 220-a carrying the PHR report. In this regard, an actual PHR value may be reported for the second component carrier 210-b based on the second DCI message 215-b being received before the timeline condition 225, thereby satisfying the timeline condition and allowing the UE 115 sufficient time to process the DCI message 215-b and calculate the actual PHR value for the PUSCH transmission 220-b.
[0115]
[0117] In comparison, a virtual PHR value (e.g., a PHR value determined using default / reference parameters) may be reported for the third component carrier 210-c (e.g., for the PUSCH transmission 220-c). Although the PUSCH transmission 220-c is scheduled in the same slot n as the first PUSCH transmission 220-a carrying the PHR report, the DCI message 215-c does not meet the timeline condition 225. In other words, the DCI message 215-c is received after the DCI message 215-a, which may not enable the UE 115 sufficient time to process the DCI message 215-c and determine the actual PHR for the PUSCH transmission 220-c. Thus, the timeline condition 225 for the third component carrier 210-c is not met, and thus the UE 115 may report a virtual PHR value for the third component carrier 210-a via the PHR report transmitted via the PUSCH transmission 220-a.
[0116]
[0118] Finally, one or more virtual PHR values for the fourth component carrier 210-d may be reported. In this example, the timeline condition 225 may be met for the fourth component carrier 210-d due to the fact that the DCI messages 215-d and 215-e were received before the DCI message 215-a. However, neither the PUSCH transmission 220-d nor the PUSCH transmission 220-e is scheduled in the same slot (slot n) as the first PUSCH transmission 220-a carrying the PHR report. Thus, a virtual PHR value(s) may be reported for the fourth component carrier 210-d (e.g., for the PUSCH transmissions 220-d, 220-e).
[0117]
[0119] In order to improve the reliability of wireless communications, there is a motivation to improve the reliability and robustness of PUSCH transmissions. One such technique for improving uplink reliability and robustness is the use of mTRP or multi-panel transmission. For example, in the context of mTRP transmission, the UE 115 may be configured to transmit a first set of PUSCH transmissions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions) using a first beam or a first SRS resource set and transmit a second set of PUSCH transmissions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions) using a second beam or a second SRS resource set. The use of different transmission beams / SRS resource sets may improve link diversity and improve the likelihood that one of the PUSCH repetitions is successfully received by the network. For example, if one link is blocked (e.g., one transmission beam is interrupted), the PUSCH transmissions performed using the other uplink beams may still be successfully received using another TRP.
[0118]
[0120] For example, as shown in the resource allocation scheme 205-b, the UE 115 may receive DCI message 230-a and DCI message 230-b that schedule a set of linked PUSCH transmissions 235-a and 235-b, respectively. Each of the respective sets of PUSCH transmissions 235-a and 235-b may include a PUSCH repetition 240 associated with a first beam and / or a first SRS resource set and a PUSCH repetition 240 associated with a second beam and / or a second SRS resource set. In some aspects, the PUSCH repetition 240 associated with the first beam / first SRS resource set may target a first TRP at the base station 105, while the PUSCH repetition 240 associated with the second beam / second SRS resource set may target a second TRP at the base station 105.
[0119]
[0121] For example, the first set of PUSCH transmissions 235-a may include a first PUSCH repetition 240-a and a third PUSCH repetition 240-c associated with a first uplink beam (first SRS resource set) and / or a first set of uplink power control parameters. Additionally, the first set of PUSCH transmissions 235-a may further include a second PUSCH repetition 240-b and a fourth PUSCH repetition 240-d associated with a second uplink beam (second SRS resource set) and / or a second set of uplink power control parameters. Similarly, the second set of linked PUSCH transmissions 235-b includes first and second PUSCH repetitions 240-e and 240-f associated with the first uplink beam / first SRS resource set and third and fourth PUSCH repetitions 240-g and 240-h associated with the second uplink beam / second SRS resource set. In this regard, the first set of linked PUSCH transmissions 235-a may illustrate an example of a periodic beam mapping pattern, and the second set of linked PUSCH transmissions 235-b may illustrate an example of a sequential beam mapping pattern.
[0120]
[0122] Some wireless communication systems may support multiple types of PUSCH repetitions, including Type A and Type B, which may be based on the relative timing of the respective PUSCH transmissions. In PUSCH repetition Type A, different PUSCH transmission occasions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions) corresponding to the same transport block may be transmitted in different slots. In comparison, in PUSCH repetition Type B, different PUSCH transmission occasions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions) corresponding to the same transport block may be transmitted in a minislot (e.g., multiple PUSCH repetitions may be transmitted in the same slot). The resource allocation scheme 205-b shown in FIG. 2 may be configured as PUSCH repetition Type A or Type B. In some aspects, the number of PUSCH repetitions (e.g., the amount of PUSCH repetitions 240 in a set of linked PUSCH transmissions) may be RRC configured or may be dynamically indicated via a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) field in the respective DCI messages 230-a, 230-b.
[0121]
[0123] In some aspects, each of the respective PUSCH repetitions 240 corresponding to a respective SRS resource set is transmitted using the same beam (e.g., first uplink beam, second uplink beam). In other words, the SRI field of the DCI message 230-a applies to each of the PUSCH repetitions 240 corresponding to a respective uplink beam in the set of linked PUSCH transmissions 235-a. As previously described herein, the SRI is a field in the DCI that determines the beam and uplink power control parameters for a PUSCH transmission by pointing to one or more SRS resources in the SRS resource set.
[0122]
[0124] When different PUSCH repetitions 240 are intended to be received at different TRPs, different panels, and / or different antennas at the base station 105, it may not be preferable to transmit all PUSCH repetitions 240 using the same beam. For example, as previously described herein, one of the uplink beams may be blocked or otherwise interfered with. Thus, the reliability of the PUSCH repetitions 240 may be improved by transmitting the different PUSCH repetitions 240 using different beams, as shown in the resource allocation scheme 205-b. In particular, the scheduled PUSCH repetitions 240 may belong to two or more sets, where each set is associated with its own uplink beam and power control parameters.
[0123]
[0125] For example, with reference to resource allocation scheme 205-b, PUSCH repetitions 240 may correspond to two SRS resource sets, where DCI message 230 indicates two different uplink beams and two sets of power control parameters (e.g., P_O, α, PLRS, closed-loop index) via two corresponding SRI fields in each DCI message 230. In other words, DCI message 230-a may include a first SRI field for PUSCH repetitions 240-a and 240-c corresponding to a first uplink beam and a first set of power control parameters, and a second SRI field for PUSCH repetitions 240-b and 240-d corresponding to a second uplink beam and a second set of power control parameters.
[0124]
[0126] Furthermore, in some cases, the network may be able to dynamically switch between single TRP (sTRP) and mTRP communication. In particular, a field in the DCI message 230 may be used to dynamically switch between sTRP and mTRP. The field for sTRP / mTRP switching may include two bits indicating which / how many sets of parameters should be used for scheduled PUSCH transmissions. For example, a field in the DCI message 230-a may indicate that the UE 115 should transmit scheduled PUSCH transmissions according to one of the following: (1) using only a first set of parameters corresponding to a first TRP (TRP1) for sTRP communication, (2) using only a second set of parameters corresponding to a second TRP (TRP2) for sTRP communication, (3) using both sets of parameters for two sets of repetitions with a first order (TRP1, TRP2) for mTRP communication, or (4) using both sets of parameters for two sets of repetitions with a second order (TRP2, TRP1) mapped to code points. Four different options for indicating sTRP / mTRP communication may be mapped to bit field values {00, 01, 10, and 11} in the respective DCI messages 230-a, 230-b.
[0125]
[0127] Some wireless communications systems (e.g., the wireless communications system 100) may support multiple options or implementations for mTRP PUSCH repetitions. In a first implementation, the UE 115 may be configured to calculate one PHR associated with a first PUSCH occasion / transmission that corresponds to the earliest PUSCH repetition that overlaps with the first slot in which a PUSCH carrying a PHR MAC-CE is transmitted. In this regard, with reference to the resource allocation scheme 205-b, the UE 115 will report only a single PHR value for a set of linked PUSCH transmissions 235-a.
[0126]
[0128] In a second implementation, the UE 115 may calculate two different PHR values, where each PHR value is associated with a first PUSCH occasion / repetition for each TRP, but report only one of the PHR values. For example, the UE 115 may calculate a first PHR value for PUSCH repetition 240-a and a second PHR value for PUSCH repetition 240-b, but report only one of the PHR values. As another example, the UE 115 may calculate a first PHR value for PUSCH repetition 240-e and a second PHR value for PUSCH repetition 240-g, but report only one of the PHR values. In a third implementation, the UE 115 may calculate two PHR values, where each PHR value is associated with a first PUSCH occasion / repetition for each TRP, and may report both PHR values (e.g., report a PHR value for both PUSCH repetitions 240-a and 240-c, and report a PHR value for both PUSCH repetitions 240-e, 240-g). In another implementation, the UE 115 may report the PHR values according to legacy (e.g., conventional) PHR reporting techniques.
[0127]
[0129] When the UE 115 reports multiple PHR values (e.g., the second implementation above in which the UE 115 reports two PHR values), there may be some complexities with PHR reporting that are not addressed or even contemplated by previous PHR reporting techniques. For example, according to the second implementation, the UE 115 may calculate two PHR values (corresponding at least to the component carriers that apply the mTRP PUSCH repetition), each PHR value associated with the first PUSCH occasion / repetition to each TRP, and may report both PHR values. In this case, the conventional PHR reporting technique does not define how the UE 115 should report each PHR value. Specifically, the current PHR reporting technique does not define whether the UE 115 should calculate an actual PHR value or a virtual PHR value. Furthermore, according to the current PHR reporting technique, when multi-cell PHR-MAC-CE is enabled (e.g., when multiple PHRs are enabled), it is unclear how the PHR is calculated for reporting on other component carriers. Additionally, there may be some modifications to the current PHR reporting techniques to allow reporting trigger conditions including higher layer parameters required as TRP specific (e.g., phr-PeriodicTimer, phr-ProhibitTimer, phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange), as well as P-MPR and Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) per TRP within the same MAC-CE extension.
[0128]
[0130] Thus, aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reporting multiple PHR values for different sets of linked PUSCH repetitions. Aspects of the present disclosure may enable a UE to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure address some of the deficiencies of previous PHR reporting techniques described above. For example, in the context of reporting PHR values for mTRP PUSCH repetitions, aspects of the present disclosure address how the PHR metric is calculated for reporting (e.g., whether an actual PHR value or a virtual PHR value is calculated for the PUSCH repetition) and how the PHR value is calculated for other component carriers when multi-cell PHR MAC-CE is applied.
[0129]
[0131] 3 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 300 supporting techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions in accordance with aspects of the disclosure. In some examples, the wireless communications system 300 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the resource configuration 200, or both. For example, the wireless communications system 300 may support techniques for reporting multiple PHR values for different sets of linked PUSCH repetitions as described in FIGS. 1-2.
[0130]
[0132] The wireless communication system 300 may include a base station 105-a and a UE 115-a, which may be an example of the base station 105 and the UE 115 described with reference to FIG. 1. The UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using a communication link 305, which may be an example of an NR or LTE link between the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a. In some cases, the communication link 305 between the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a may include an example of an access link (e.g., a Uu link), which may include a bidirectional link enabling both uplink and downlink communication. For example, the UE 115-a may transmit uplink signals, such as uplink control signals or uplink data signals (PUSCH transmissions), to the base station 105-a using the communication link 305, and the base station 105-a may transmit downlink signals, such as downlink control signals or downlink data signals, to the UE 115-a using the communication link 305.
[0131]
[0133] As previously described herein, some UEs 115 may report PHR values associated with uplink transmissions to improve coordination with the network (e.g., base station 105). If the UE 115 is transmitting uplink communications using multiple uplink beams, such as with an mTRP, the UE 115 may report separate PHR values for each respective uplink beam. Separately, the UE 115 may also be scheduled to transmit multiple PUSCH repetitions. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the UE 115-a may be scheduled to transmit a set of multiple linked PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-b, 315-c, and 315-d in the component carrier 310-b, where the PUSCH repetitions 315-a and 315-b are transmitted using a first beam / first SRS resource set and the PUSCH repetitions 315-c and 315-d are transmitted using a second beam / second SRS resource set. Similarly, the UE 115-a may be scheduled to transmit a set of linked PUSCH repetitions 315-e, 315-f, 315-g, and 315-h and a set of linked PUSCH repetitions 315-i, 315-j, 315-k, and 315-l in component carriers 310-c and 310-d, respectively. In each of these examples, the UE 115-a may be configured to report one or more PHR values for each of the respective component carriers 310-b, 310-c, and 310-d via a PHR report 320 transmitted in slot n. For example, the UE 115-a may be configured to report one or more PHR values for the set of linked PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-b, 315-c, and 315-d on the component carrier 310-b via a PHR report 320.
[0132]
[0134] There are several complexities in reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier configured with mTRP PUSCH repetitions that are not addressed or even contemplated by existing PHR reporting techniques. First, reporting multiple PHR values per component carrier increases processing complexity at the UE 115-a because two PHR values for a single uplink component carrier 310 are calculated and reported. Furthermore, if both PHR values for a given component carrier 310 include actual PHR values (e.g., PHR values calculated based on actual PUSCH repetitions 315), the UE 115-a may be required to calculate one of the PHR values for the PUSCH repetitions 315 in the future or past, which may further increase processing complexity or memory requirements, respectively. For example, in reporting a PHR value for the second component carrier 310-b via a PHR report 320 transmitted in the first component carrier 310-a, the UE 115-a may report an actual PHR value for the PUSCH repetition 315-a (based on the PUSCH repetition 315-a being scheduled in the same slot n as the PHR report 320), but may be required to calculate actual PHR values for PUSCH repetitions 315-c or 315-d in the future. Such reporting of PHR values based on PUSCH repetitions 315 in the future may result in more complicated PHR calculations at the UE 115-a.
[0133]
[0135] Furthermore, when performing PHR reporting for mTRP PUSCH repetitions, it may not always be clear whether the second PHR value for a given component carrier 310 should be based on a future PUSCH repetition 315 (e.g., a PUSCH repetition 315 in a slot following slot n) or a past PUSCH repetition 315 (e.g., a PUSCH repetition 315 in a slot preceding slot n). For example, with reference to component carrier 310-d, UE 115-a may report a first actual PHR value associated with PUSCH repetition 315-k based on PUSCH repetition 315-k being scheduled in the same slot n as PHR report 320. However, with conventional PHR reporting techniques, it may be unclear whether the UE 115-a should determine the second PHR value based on a PUSCH repetition 315-j in the past (e.g., a PUSCH repetition 315-j performed before slot n) or a PUSCH repetition 315-m in the future (e.g., a PUSCH repetition 315-m performed after slot n).
[0134]
[0136] Finally, whether the UE 115-a reports one or two PHR values via the PHR report 320 may depend on the presence (or lack thereof) of at least one PUSCH repetition 315 in each set of PUSCH repetitions associated with different beams / SRS resource sets in the slot in which the PHR report 320 is transmitted (e.g., based on the presence / absence of a PUSCH repetition 315 for each beam / SRS resource set in slot n). This makes the payload of the PHR report 320 (PHR MAC-CE) variable and vulnerable to DCI missing errors.
[0135]
[0137] Thus, to improve PHR reporting, the UE 115-a and base station 105-a of the wireless communication system 300 may support techniques for reporting multiple PHR values for different sets of linked PUSCH repetitions 315. In particular, the wireless communication system 300 may support signaling and other configurations that enable the UE 115-a to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier 310 when the component carrier 310 is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions 315 that use multiple beams. For example, the UE may be scheduled to perform multiple linked PUSCH transmissions including a first set of linked PUSCH transmissions and a second set of linked PUSCH transmissions. The UE may determine a PHR value for each set of linked PUSCH transmissions according to a rule (e.g., a preconfigured PHR reporting configuration) and may then report one or more of the PHR values via a single PHR report.
[0136]
[0138] For example, in some implementations, the UE 115-a may transmit capability signaling 325 (e.g., UE capability signaling, UE capability report) to the base station 105-a over the communication link 305. The capability signaling may indicate one or more capabilities associated with reporting PHR values supported by the UE 115-a. In particular, the capability signaling 325 may indicate various capabilities associated with PHR reporting in the context of mTRP PUSCH repetitions.
[0137]
[0139] For example, the capability signaling 325 may indicate whether the UE 115-a supports one or more PHR reporting configurations for reporting multiple PHR values per component carrier. Additionally or alternatively, the capability signaling 325 may indicate whether the UE 115-a supports reporting two PHR values in one PHR report (e.g., PHR MAC-CE) for a given component carrier and / or whether the UE 115-a supports reporting two actual PHR values in one PHR report for a given component carrier. In other words, the capability signaling 325 may indicate whether the UE 115-a is capable of reporting multiple PHR values (and types of PHR values) via a single PHR report. Additionally or alternatively, the capability signaling 325 may indicate whether the UE 115-a supports reporting actual PHR values for slots that are before or after the slot in which the PHR report is transmitted. In other words, the capability signaling 325 may indicate whether the UE 115-a supports determining an actual PHR value based on scheduled uplink transmission repetitions prior to (e.g., in the past) the transmission of the PHR report 320 and / or after (e.g., in the future) the transmission of the PHR report 320.
[0138]
[0140] In some cases, the network (e.g., base station 105-a) may semi-statically configure UE 115-a to perform PHR reporting in case of mTRP PUSCH repetition. In other words, base station 105-a may configure UE 115-a to perform PHR reporting for mTRP PUSCH repetition based on various capabilities indicated via capability signaling 325. Various PHR reporting configurations or rules that may be enabled / triggered by RRC message 330 may be per BWP of component carrier, per component carrier 310, per cell group, etc. In other words, RRC message 330 may indicate different PHR reporting configurations / rules for different BWPs, different component carriers 310, or different cell groups.
[0139]
[0141] For example, the UE 115-a may receive control signaling (e.g., RRC message 330) from the base station 105-a indicating one or more parameters / characteristics associated with PHR reporting at the UE 115-a. The base station 105-a may transmit the RRC message 330 based on (e.g., in response to) the capability signaling 325. In some aspects, the RRC message 330 may semi-statically configure the UE 115-a to perform PHR reporting in the case of mTRP uplink transmission repetition. In other words, the base station 105-a may configure the UE 115-a to perform PHR reporting for mTRP uplink transmission repetition (e.g., PUSCH repetition) based on various capabilities indicated via the capability signaling 325.
[0140]
[0142] For example, if the capability signaling 325 indicates one or more PHR reporting configurations supported by the UE 115-a, the RRC message 330 may indicate one of the PHR reporting configurations supported by the UE 115-a to be used for the PHR report. As another example, the RRC message 330 may configure the UE 115-a to report one or two PHR values within a single PHR report 320 for a given component carrier 310. If the UE 115-a is configured to report one PHR value per PHR report (or if the UE 115-a is not explicitly configured to report multiple PHR values per PHR report), the UE 115-a may be configured to report one PHR value per PHR report, where the PHR value (actual or virtual PHR value) is determined based on the earliest PUSCH repetition, if any, within the slot carrying the PHR report (e.g., legacy behavior).
[0141]
[0143] As another example, the RRC message 330 may configure the UE 115-a to report an actual PHR value for a PUSCH transmission in a slot that is before and / or after the slot carrying the PHR report 320. In other words, the RRC message 330 may enable or trigger reporting of an actual PHR value calculated based on an uplink control repetition that is scheduled before or after the transmission of the PHR report 320 (e.g., a PUSCH repetition in the past or future relative to the transmission of the PHR report 320).
[0142]
[0144] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive control signaling (e.g., DCI message 335) from the base station 105-a. In some aspects, the DCI message 335 may schedule multiple uplink transmission repetitions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions 315) including a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set (e.g., a first beam) and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set (e.g., a second beam). For example, as shown in FIG. 2 for component carrier 310-b, the UE 115-a may be scheduled to perform multiple PUSCH transmissions including PUSCH repetitions 315-a and 315-b associated with a first beam / first SRS resource set and PUSCH repetitions 315-c and 315-d associated with a second beam / second SRS resource set. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive the DCI message 335 based on transmitting the capability signaling 325, receiving the RRC message 330, or both. In some cases, the multiple uplink transmission repetitions (e.g., the PUSCH repetitions 315) may include multiple repetitions of the same uplink data message scheduled within the same component carrier 310.
[0143]
[0145] The UE 115-a may then determine a PHR value for each set of uplink transmission repetitions (e.g., a PHR value for the PUSCH repetitions 315 corresponding to each beam / SRS resource set). In particular, the UE 115-a may determine a first PHR value for a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set and a second PHR value for a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set. For example, with reference to the component carrier 310-b, the UE 115-b may determine a first PHR value associated with the PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-b corresponding to the first SRS resource set and a second PHR value associated with the PUSCH repetitions 315-c, 315-d corresponding to the second SRS resource set. The UE 115-a may be configured to determine the PHR value based on transmitting the capability signaling 325, receiving an RRC message 330, receiving a DCI message 335, or any combination thereof.
[0144]
[0146] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may determine a second PHR value for a second set of repetitions (e.g., the second set of PUSCH repetitions 315) according to a rule (e.g., a first rule) for determining a PHR value. In particular, the rule may be associated with PHR determination for multiple sets of repetitions (e.g., the PUSCH repetitions 315) corresponding to multiple SRS resource sets. In other words, the rule may be associated with determining a PHR value for an mTRP uplink transmission repetition. In some aspects, each of the first PHR value and the second PHR value may include one of an actual PHR value based on a transmit power of one of the uplink transmission repetitions (e.g., the PUSCH repetitions 315) or a virtual PHR value based on a set of default / reference transmit power settings. The default / reference transmit power setting used to determine the virtual PHR value may include, but is not limited to, a reference power level value (P_O), a reference path loss compensation value (α), a reference path loss value associated with a reference signal (PL), a reference closed loop index (l), or any combination thereof.
[0145]
[0147] In some cases, as previously described herein with respect to the resource allocation scheme 205-a illustrated in FIG. 2, the PHR value corresponding to the PUSCH repetition transmitted in the same slot as the PHR report 320 may include an actual PHR value. Otherwise, the PHR value may include a virtual PHR value. For example, the UE 115-b may be configured to determine the actual PHR value associated with the PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-g, and 315-k based on the respective PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-g, and 315-k being scheduled in the same slot (slot n) as the PHR report 320. In other cases where the PUSCH repetitions 315 are not scheduled in the same slot (slot n) as the PHR report 320, the UE 115-b may be configured to generate the first PHR value as a virtual PHR value based on the PHR report being transmitted in a different TTI than each of the PUSCH repetitions 315. If the first PHR value includes a virtual PHR value, the UE 115-a may be configured to refrain from determining a second PHR value and / or to refrain from including the second PHR value in the PHR report. In other words, whether the UE 115-a determines and / or reports the second PHR value may depend on whether the first PHR value is real or virtual (e.g., if the first PHR value is virtual, the second PHR value is not determined / reported).
[0146]
[0148] According to one rule for determining a PHR value for a scheduled PUSCH repetition, the first reported PHR value may include a real or virtual PHR value, and the second PHR value is always a virtual PHR value. In other words, the UE 115-a may generate the second PHR value as a virtual PHR value according to one rule for determining a PHR value that defines the second PHR value as virtual regardless of whether the first PHR value is real or virtual.
[0147]
[0149] In such a case, the second PHR value may be determined according to a set of default transmit power settings (e.g., a reference power level value (P_O), a reference path loss compensation value (α), a reference path loss value associated with a reference signal (PL), a reference closed loop index (l), or any combination thereof). In some cases, there may be multiple sets of default / reference parameters (e.g., multiple sets of default transmit power settings) that may be used to determine the virtual PHR value. For example, a first set of default transmit power settings may be based on {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=0,closedloopindexl=0}. As another example, the second set of default transmit power settings may be based on {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=1, pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id=1, closedloopindexl=1} if two PUSCH-PC-AdjustmentStates are configured, and {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=1, pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id=1, closedloopindexl=0} otherwise.
[0148]
[0150] In this regard, the UE 115-b may generate the second PHR value as a virtual PHR value based on one of the ordered pairs of sets of default transmission power settings (e.g., one of the first or second sets of default transmission power settings). In some cases, the set of default transmission power settings used to determine the second virtual PHR value according to the first rule for determining the PHR value may depend on whether the first actual PHR value is associated with the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set. In other words, the UE 115-b may use the first or second set of default transmission settings to determine the second virtual PHR value based on the relative ordering of the SRS resource sets corresponding to the scheduled PUSCH repetition 315. In particular, the UE 115-a may utilize the second set of default transmission settings if the first PHR value is associated with the first SRS resource set, and may utilize the first set of default transmission settings if the first PHR value is associated with the second SRS resource set. This may be further shown and explained with reference to FIG.
[0149]
[0151] 4 illustrates an example of a resource configuration 400 supporting techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions according to aspects of the disclosure. Aspects of the resource configuration 400 may implement or be implemented by the wireless communication system 100, the resource configuration 200, the wireless communication system 300, or any combination thereof. In particular, the resource configuration 400 illustrates various example / PHR reporting schemes 405 based on a first rule for determining a PHR value, where a second reported PHR value is always virtual.
[0150]
[0152] The resource configuration 400 illustrates a set of linked PUSCH transmissions including linked PUSCH repetitions 415 that may be scheduled at the UE 115. In particular, as previously described herein, the resource configuration illustrates PUSCH repetitions 415 (e.g., PUSCH repetitions 415-a, 415-b, 415-e, 415-f, 415-k, 415-l, 415-m, 415-n) associated with a first beam (first SRS resource set) and a first set of power control parameters and targeting a first TRP at the base station 105, as well as PUSCH repetitions 415 (e.g., PUSCH repetitions 415-c, 415-d, 415-g, 415-h, 415-i, 415-j, 415-o) associated with a second beam (second SRS resource set) and a second set of power control parameters and targeting a second TRP at the base station 105.
[0151]
[0153] The first PHR reporting scheme 405-a shown in FIG. 4 illustrates a single component carrier PHR reporting scheme in which a PHR MAC-CE (e.g., a PHR report) is reported on a PUSCH repetition. For example, as shown in the first PHR reporting scheme 405-a, the UE 115 may be scheduled with multiple linked PUSCH repetitions 415 associated with different beams / SRS resource sets. Each of the PUSCH repetitions 415 may be scheduled on a single component carrier 410-a (CC1). Furthermore, the UE 115 may be configured to transmit a PHR MAC-CE (e.g., a PHR report) via the first PUSCH repetition 415-a in slot N. In this example, the UE 115 may report a first PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 415-a, 415-b associated with a first beam / first SRS resource set and may report a second PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 415-c, 415-d associated with a second beam / second SRS resource set. In this example, the first PHR value (e.g., the PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 415-a, 415-b) may include an actual PHR value, while the second PHR value (e.g., the PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 415-c, 415-d) may include a virtual PHR value. In particular, the virtual PHR values for PUSCH repetitions 415-c, 415-d may be determined based on a first actual PHR value being associated with a first SRS resource set (e.g., based on the actual PHR value being associated with PUSCH repetition 415-a) in accordance with a second set of default transmit power settings (e.g., {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=1, pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id=1, closedloopindexl=1} or {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=1, pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id=1, closedloopindexl=0}).
[0152]
[0154] The second PHR reporting scheme 405-b illustrates additional examples for reporting PHR values in the case of mTRP PUSCH repetitions. In each of the examples illustrated in the second PHR reporting scheme 405-b, the PHR report 420 (e.g., a PUSCH transmission carrying a PHR MAC-CE) is transmitted on the first component carrier 410-b (CC1) and may include a PHR value(s) for a PUSCH repetition on the second component carrier 410 (e.g., CC2). For example, the PHR report 420 may include a PHR value for one of the component carriers 410-c, 410-d, or 410-e. In other words, each illustrated CC2 (e.g., CC2-a, CC2-b, CC2-c) is illustrated as an alternative or example, and the PHR report 420 on CC1 may be used to report a PHR value for one of the CC2s configured with mTRP PUSCH.
[0153]
[0155] With reference to component carrier 410-c (CC2-a), UE 115 may be scheduled to execute linked PUSCH repetitions 415-e, 415-f, 415-g, and 415-h. In this example, UE 115 may report (via PHR report 420 on first component carrier 410-b) a first actual PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 415-e, 415-f corresponding to a first beam. The first PHR value may include an actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 415-e being scheduled in the same slot (slot n) in which PHR report 420 is transmitted. Additionally, the UE 115 may report (via the PHR report 420 on the first component carrier 410-b) a second virtual PHR value for the PUSCH repetitions 415-g, 415-h corresponding to the second beam based on a second set of default transmit power settings (e.g., {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=1, pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id=1, closedloopindexl=1} or {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=1, pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id=1, closedloopindexl=0}) based on a first actual PHR report value associated with the first SRS resource set (e.g., based on an actual PHR report value associated with the PUSCH repetition 415-e).
[0154]
[0156] With reference to component carrier 410-d (CC2-b), UE 115 may be scheduled to execute linked PUSCH repetitions 415-i, 415-j, 415-k, and 415-l. In this example, UE 115 may report (via PHR report 420 on first component carrier 410-b) a first actual PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 415-i, 415-j corresponding to second beam / second SRS resource. The first PHR value may include an actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 415-j being scheduled in the same slot (slot n) in which PHR report 420 is transmitted. Further, the UE 115 may use a first set of default transmit power settings (e.g., {p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=0,closedloopindexl=0}) to determine a second virtual PHR value for the PUSCH repetitions 415-k, 415-l corresponding to the first beam / first SRS resource set based on the first actual PHR value being associated with the second SRS resource set (e.g., based on the actual PHR value being associated with the PUSCH repetition 415-j).
[0155]
[0157] With reference to component carrier 410-e (CC2-c), UE 115 may be scheduled to execute linked PUSCH repetitions 415-m, 415-n, and 415-o. In this example, UE 115 may report (via PHR report 420 on first component carrier 410-b) a first virtual PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 415-m, 415-n corresponding to the second beam. The first PHR value may include a virtual PHR value based on none of PUSCH repetitions 415-m, 420-n being scheduled in the same slot (slot n) in which the PHR report 420 is transmitted. Additionally, UE 115 may not report a second PHR value for PUSCH repetition 415-o corresponding to the second beam based on the first PHR value including the virtual PHR value. In other words, the UE 115 may refrain from reporting the second PHR value via the PHR report 420 based on the first PHR value not containing an actual PHR value (e.g., to avoid calculating / reporting multiple virtual PHR values within the same PHR report).
[0156]
[0158] In an additional or alternative case, the UE 115-a may always utilize the second set of default transmit power settings based on the second PHR value being reported in the PHR report 320 or 420. In other words, in some cases, the UE 115-a may utilize the second set of default transmit power settings (e.g., the second of an ordered pair of sets of default transmit power settings) based on a PHR report 320, 420 including both the first and second PHR values, regardless of whether the first actual PHR value is associated with the first or second SRS resource set. In such a case, the UE 115-a may utilize the second set of default transmit power settings to determine a second virtual PHR value for each of the component carriers 410-a, 410-c, 410-d, and 410-e.
[0157]
[0159] In an additional or alternative case, the UE 115-a may implement another rule for determining the PHR value that may allow the second PHR value to be real or virtual. In other words, in contrast to the rule shown in FIG. 4, where the second PHR value is always virtual (when the second PHR value is reported), another rule that may be implemented by the UE 115-a may allow the second PHR value to be virtual or real. This concept may be further shown and explained with reference to FIG. 5.
[0158]
[0160] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a resource configuration 500 supporting a technique for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions according to an aspect of the disclosure. Aspects of the resource configuration 500 may implement or be implemented by the wireless communication system 100, the resource configuration 200, the wireless communication system 300, or any combination thereof. In particular, the resource configuration 500 includes a PHR reporting scheme 505 illustrating various examples based on a rule for determining a PHR value, where the second reported PHR may include an actual PHR value or a virtual PHR value. Thus, compared to the example illustrated in FIG. 4 where the second PHR value is always virtual (when the second PHR value is reported), FIG. 5 illustrates an example where the second PHR value (when reported) may be actual or virtual.
[0159]
[0161] The PHR reporting scheme 505 illustrates an example for reporting a PHR value in the case of an mTRP PUSCH repetition. In each of the examples illustrated in the PHR reporting scheme 505, a PHR report 520 (e.g., a PUSCH transmission carrying a PHR MAC-CE) is transmitted on a first component carrier 510-a (CC1) and may include a PHR value(s) for a PUSCH repetition 515 on a second component carrier 410 (e.g., CC2). For example, the PHR report 520 may include a PHR value for one of component carrier 510-b, component carrier 510-c, or component carrier 510-d. In other words, each illustrated CC2 (e.g., CC2-a, CC2-b, CC2-c) is illustrated as an alternative or example, and the PHR report 520 on CC1 may be used to report a PHR value for one of the CC2s configured with an mTRP PUSCH.
[0160]
[0162] In connection with the rule that the second PHR value may be real or virtual, the UE 115-a may be configured to implement one or more conditions that control whether the second PHR value is real or virtual. For example, according to a first condition, the UE 115-a may be configured to determine an actual PHR value for the second PHR value if the first PHR value includes an actual PHR value determined based on a first PUSCH repetition of a set of PUSCH repetitions associated with one of the SRS resource sets. Otherwise, the second PHR value may be virtual. In other words, if the first actual PHR value is based on a first PUSCH repetition 515 of the corresponding SRS resource set, the first condition is met and the second PHR value may include an actual PHR value. This condition ensures that the first reported PHR value is the actual PHR value based on a PUSCH repetition 515 in the same slot / same TTI as the PHR report 520 and may prevent the UE 115-a from having to determine multiple actual PHR values based on PUSCH repetitions 515 transmitted in different slots than the PHR report 520.
[0161]
[0163] With reference to component carrier 510-b (CC2-a), UE 115-a may be scheduled to perform linked PUSCH repetitions 515-a, 515-b, 515-c, and 515-d. In this example, UE 115-a may report (via PHR report 520 on first component carrier 510-a) a first actual PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 515-a, 515-b corresponding to a first beam / first SRS resource set. Furthermore, according to the first condition being met, UE 115-a may determine an actual PHR value for a second PHR value based on the first actual PHR value being determined based on the first PUSCH repetition of the SRS resource set. In other words, UE 115-b may determine a second actual PHR value for the second SRS resource set because the first actual PHR value is determined based on PUSCH repetition 515-a, which is the first PUSCH repetition of the corresponding SRS resource set (as opposed to PUSCH repetition 515-b, which is the second repetition of the corresponding SRS resource set).
[0162]
[0164] Upon determining that the second PHR value should be actual (e.g., based on the first actual PHR value based on the first PUSCH repetition 515 of the corresponding SRS resource set), there are several implementations / alternatives for determining which PUSCH repetition 515 should be used to determine the second actual PHR value. In a first implementation, the PUSCH repetition 515 closest to the slot / TTI carrying the PHR report 520 (either earlier or later) may be used to determine the second actual PHR value. For example, as shown in component carrier 510-b, PUSCH repetition 515-c may be used to determine the second actual PHR value based on the PUSCH repetition 515-c closest to slot n from the set of PUSCH repetitions 515-c, 515-d corresponding to the second SRS resource set.
[0163]
[0165] In another implementation, if there is a PUSCH repetition 515 in or before the slot / TTI carrying the PHR report 520, that PUSCH repetition 515 is used to determine the second actual PHR value. Otherwise, the earliest PUSCH repetition 515 after slot n is considered. In other words, according to the second implementation, the UE 115-b may prioritize a PUSCH repetition 515 that is in or before slot n to determine the second actual PHR value.
[0164]
[0166] For example, with reference to component carrier 510-c (CC2-b), UE 115-a may be scheduled to perform linked PUSCH repetitions 515-e, 515-f, 515-g, and 515-h. In this example, UE 115-a may report (via PHR report 520 on first component carrier 510-a) a first actual PHR value for PUSCH repetition 515-f corresponding to first beam / first SRS resource set. Furthermore, pursuant to the first condition being met, UE 115-a may determine an actual PHR value for a second PHR value based on the first actual PHR value being determined based on the first PUSCH repetition of the SRS resource set. In other words, the UE 115-ba may determine a second actual PHR value for the second SRS resource set because the first actual PHR value is determined based on the PUSCH repetition 515-f, which is the first PUSCH repetition of the corresponding SRS resource set (as opposed to the PUSCH repetition 515-h, which is the second repetition of the corresponding SRS resource set). Furthermore, according to a second implementation, the UE 115-a may prioritize a PUSCH repetition 515 that is prior to slot n to determine the second actual PHR value. In this regard, the UE 115-b may determine a second actual PHR value based on the PUSCH repetition 515-e.
[0165]
[0167] In implementing a rule for determining a PHR value that allows the second PHR value (when reported) to be real or virtual, the UE 115-a may be configured to apply one or more additional conditions for determining whether the second PHR value should be real or virtual.
[0166]
[0168] According to the second condition, in addition to the first condition, for the second PHR value to be an actual PHR value, there should be at least one other PUSCH repetition transmitted before or in a slot / TTI carrying a PHR report 520 and having a different set of power control parameters (e.g., a different SRS resource set) than the first PUSCH repetition 515. Otherwise, the second PHR value is hypothetical or the second PHR is not reported. In other words, the UE 115-a may generate the second PHR value as an actual PHR value based on the PHR report 520 being transmitted in the same TTI as the first PUSCH repetition 515 of the first set of repetitions, and based on one or more PUSCH repetitions 515 of the second set of repetitions being during the same TTI at which the PHR report 520 is transmitted or during an overlapping TTI that overlaps with the same TTI at which the PHR report 520 is transmitted. If this second condition is met, the second PHR value may be hypothetical. This second condition is stricter than the first condition in that it ensures that the actual PHR for the second PHR value does not correspond to a slot / TTI in the future. As will be explained in more detail below, the second condition is met for component carriers 510-c and 510-d, but not for component carrier 510-b.
[0167]
[0169] For example, the second condition will be met for component carrier 510-c based on PUSCH repetition 515-e being scheduled before slot n carrying PHR report 520. In this case, UE 115-a will generate a first actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 515-f and a second actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 515-e based on the second condition (and the first condition) being met. Furthermore, the second condition will be met for component carrier 510-d based on PUSCH repetition 515-j being scheduled within slot n carrying PHR report 520. In this case, UE 115-a will generate a first actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 515-i and a second actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 515-j based on the second condition (and the first condition) being met. If the UE 115-a generates an actual PHR value based on satisfying a second condition, the UE 115-a may generate a second actual PHR value based on the PUSCH repetition 515 that is closest in the time domain to the slot / TTI carrying the PHR report.
[0168]
[0170] In comparison, the second condition is not met on component carrier 510-b based on PUSCH repetition 515-c being scheduled after slot n carrying PHR report 520. In this case, UE 115-a generates a first actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 515-a and generates a second virtual PHR value for the second SRS resource set based on the second condition not being met. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115-a may refrain from determining a second PHR value or from including the second PHR value in PHR report 520 based on the second condition not being met.
[0169]
[0171] According to the third condition, for the second PHR value to be an actual PHR value, there should be two different PUSCH repetitions 515 (e.g., two PUSCH repetitions 515 associated with different SRS resource sets) with different power control parameters transmitted in the same slot / TTI as the PHR report 520. Otherwise, the second PHR value is virtual or the second PHR is not reported. In other words, the UE 115-a may determine an actual PHR value for the second PHR value only if the PUSCH repetitions 515 for both SRS resource sets are scheduled in the same slot / TTI as the PHR report 520. This third condition is stricter than both the first and second conditions in that it ensures that the actual PHR for the second PHR value does not correspond to a slot / TTI in the future or past. Furthermore, this third condition applies only to PUSCH repetition type B, as in PUSCH repetition type A, where the PUSCH repetitions 515 are scheduled in different slots. As will be explained in more detail below, the third condition is met for component carrier 510-d but not for component carrier 510-b or 510-c.
[0170]
[0172] For example, the third condition will not be met in component carrier 510-b or 510-c due to the fact that there is no PUSCH repetition 515 for both SRS resource sets scheduled in the same slot n as the PHR report 520. Thus, because the third condition is not met, UE 115-a may determine an actual PHR value for the second PHR value or may refrain from determining / reporting the second PHR value.
[0171]
[0173] In comparison, the third condition will be met in component carrier 510-d due to the fact that there are PUSCH repetitions 515 (e.g., PUSCH repetitions 515-i and 515-j) for both SRS resource sets scheduled in the same slot n as PHR report 520. Thus, UE 115-a may determine a first actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 515-i and a second actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 515-j based on the third condition being met.
[0172]
[0174] If the third condition is met and there are more than two PUSCH repetitions in the same slot / TTI carrying the PHR report 520, then the two earliest PUSCH repetitions 515 with different power control parameters (e.g., two earliest PUSCH repetitions 515 associated with different SRS resource sets) may be used to determine the actual PHR value. Furthermore, if the component carrier 510 carrying the PHR report 520 has a different subcarrier spacing (SCS) than the component carrier 510 containing the PUSCH repetition 515, then the slot / TTI containing the PHR report 520 used to determine the fulfillment of the respective condition may be considered to be the first slot in the component carrier 510 carrying the PUSCH repetition 515 that overlaps with the slot carrying the PHR report 520. For example, the component carrier 510-a carrying the PHR report 520 may have a first SCS (e.g., 15 kHz SCS) that is different from a second SCS (e.g., 30 kHz SCS) of the component carrier 510-b that includes the PUSCH repetitions 515-a-515-d. In other words, the component carrier 510-b may include multiple slots that overlap with each slot in the component carrier 510-a. In this case, the first slot on the component carrier 510-b that overlaps with slot n on the component carrier 510-a may be considered to be "slot n" for determining satisfaction of each condition.
[0173]
[0175] Referring again to FIG. 3, upon generating the respective PHR values, the UE 115-a may generate a PHR report 320 (e.g., PHR MAC-CE). The generated PHR report 320 may include the first PHR value and / or the second PHR value. In particular, as shown and described in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the PHR value included in the PHR report 320 may depend on the PHR reporting configuration used to report the PHR value and / or the rule used to determine the PHR value. Furthermore, the UE 115-a may generate the PHR report 320 based on sending a capability signaling 325, receiving an RRC message 330, receiving a DCI message 335, or any combination thereof.
[0174]
[0176] In some implementations, the PHR report 320 may include one or more fields or field values (e.g., MAC-CE fields, bit fields) that indicate parameters for the PHR values reported in the PHR report 320. For example, the PHR report 320 may include one or more fields that indicate whether the reported PHR values include actual PHR values or virtual PHR values. If the reported PHR values include actual PHR values, the PHR report 320 may further include a corresponding P_CMAX value.
[0175]
[0177] Additionally or alternatively, the PHR report 320 may include a field indicating whether the PHR report 320 includes one or two (or more) PHR values, a field indicating whether the PHR values reported via the PHR report 320 include actual or virtual PHR values, or both. The use of such fields to indicate the amount and type of PHR values reported may allow the PHR report to be dynamically changed such that the PHR report is not fixed for the component carrier configured in the mTRP PUSCH repetition 315.
[0176]
[0178] For example, a field in the PHR report 320 (e.g., PHR MAC-CE) may indicate whether for a given component carrier configured with two resource sets for codebook / non-codebook based PUSCH, one or two PHR values are reported in the PHR report 320. In other words, the PHR report 320 may include one or more fields indicating whether the PHR report 320 includes one or two PHR values for a component carrier configured for mTRP PUSCH repetitions. For example, in reporting PHR values for PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-b, 315-c, 315-d in component carrier 310-b, the PHR report 320 may indicate whether the PHR report 320 includes one or two PHR values for the respective PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-b, 315-c, 315-d. In the event that the PHR report includes a single PHR value (e.g., a PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-b or a PHR value for PUSCH repetitions 315-c, 315-d), the PHR report 320 may further include one or more fields indicating which beam / SRS resource set is associated with the reported PHR value.
[0177]
[0179] If there are multiple component carriers 310 configured with mTRP PUSCH repetitions being reported via the PHR report 320, then an indication as to whether one or two (or more) PHR values are being reported for each component carrier 310 may be indicated for each individual component carrier 310. For example, if the PHR report 320 includes PHR values for both component carrier 310-b and component carrier 310-c, the PHR report 320 may include a first field value indicating whether the PHR report 320 includes one or two PHR values for component carrier 310-b and a second field value indicating whether the PHR report 320 includes one or two PHR values for component carrier 310-c.
[0178]
[0180] When a PHR report 320 includes two PHR values for a given component carrier 310, the relative order of the reported PHR values may be determined / arranged according to multiple implementations. In a first implementation, the relative order of the reported PHR values in the PHR report 320 may be based on the order of association with the respective beams / SRS resource sets (e.g., based on the order of the first and second SRS resource sets in the time domain). For example, in some cases, the PHR values associated with an SRS resource set that is earlier in the time domain may be placed first in the PHR report. For example, the PHR values associated with the first SRS resource set may be placed first in the PHR report 320 for the component carrier 310-b, while the PHR values associated with the second SRS resource set may be placed first in the PHR report 320 for the component carriers 310-c and 310-d.
[0179]
[0181] As another example, in some cases, PHR values associated with a first SRS resource set may be placed / reported first in the PHR report 320, followed by PHR values associated with a second SRS resource set. For example, when reporting PHR values for component carrier 310-b, PHR values associated with PUSCH repetitions 315-a, 315-b may be reported before PHR values associated with PUSCH repetitions 315-c, 315-d. As another example, when reporting PHR values for component carrier 310-b, PHR values associated with PUSCH repetitions 315-g, 315-h may be reported before PHR values associated with PUSCH repetitions 315-e, 315-f.
[0180]
[0182] In a second implementation, the relative order of the reported PHR values in the PHR report 320 may be based on whether the PHR values include actual or virtual PHR values. In some cases, the actual PHR values may be placed / reported in the PHR report before the virtual PHR values (e.g., the actual PHR values precede the virtual PHR values). In a third implementation, the relative order of the reported PHR values in the PHR report 320 may be based on the relative order of the corresponding PUSCH repetitions in the time domain. In particular, the PHR value associated with the earliest PUSCH repetition, which is earlier in the time domain, may be placed first in the PHR report 320, followed by the PHR value associated with the later PUSCH repetition in the time domain. In some implementations, this implementation may only be applied when both reported PHR values are actual PHR values or when both PHR values are virtual PHR values. For example, if the UE 115-a determines a first actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 315-f and a second actual PHR value based on PUSCH repetition 315-g, the first actual PHR value may be reported first in the PHR report 320 based on the PUSCH repetition 315-f, which precedes the PUSCH repetition 315-g in the time domain.
[0181]
[0183] The UE 115-a may then transmit a PHR report 320 to the base station 105-a. The UE 115-a may transmit the PHR report 320 based on transmitting a capability signaling 325, receiving an RRC message 330, receiving a DCI message 335, determining a PHR value(s), generating the PHR report 320, or any combination thereof. Additionally, in some cases, the UE 115-a may transmit the PHR report 320 within a PUSCH repetition 315. For example, as shown in the first PHR reporting scheme 405 illustrated in FIG. 4, the PHR report 320 may be included within an uplink transmission repetition scheduled by the DCI message 335.
[0182]
[0184] Techniques described herein may provide improved PHR reporting in the context of associated linked PUSCH transmissions performed using multiple beams at the UE 115-a (e.g., mTRP). In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable the UE 115-a to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. By allowing multiple PHR values to be reported for mTRP PUSCH repetitions, aspects of the present disclosure may improve PHR reporting for the UE 115-a and reduce the amount of signaling used for PHR reporting, which may lead to reduced control signaling and more efficient utilization of resources.
[0183]
[0185] 6 illustrates an example of a process flow 600 supporting techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions in accordance with aspects of the disclosure. In some examples, the process flow 600 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100, the resource configuration 200, the wireless communication system 300, the resource configuration 400, the resource configuration 500, or any combination thereof.
[0184]
[0186] In some cases, the process flow 600 may include a UE 115-b and a base station 105-b, which may be examples of corresponding devices described herein. In particular, the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b shown in FIG. 6 may include examples of the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a shown in FIG.
[0185]
[0187] In some examples, the operations illustrated in process flow 600 may be performed by hardware (e.g., circuits, processing blocks, logic components, and other components), code executed by a processor (e.g., software), or any combination thereof. The following alternative examples may be implemented, in which some steps are performed in a different order than described, or not performed at all. In some cases, the steps may include additional features not mentioned below, or further steps may be added.
[0186]
[0188] At 605, the UE 115-b may transmit capability signaling to the base station 105-b. The capability signaling may include UE capability signaling, UE capability reporting, etc. In some aspects, the capability signaling may indicate one or more capabilities associated with reporting PHR values supported by the UE 115-a. In particular, the capability signaling may indicate various capabilities associated with PHR reporting in the context of mTRP uplink transmission repetitions (PUSCH repetitions).
[0187]
[0189] For example, the capability signaling may indicate whether the UE 115-b supports one or more PHR reporting configurations for reporting multiple PHR values per component carrier. Additionally or alternatively, the capability signaling may indicate whether the UE 115-b supports reporting two actual PHR values in one PHR report for a given component carrier. In other words, the capability signaling may indicate whether the UE 115-a is capable of reporting multiple PHR values (and types of PHR values) via a single PHR report. In some aspects, the capability signaling may indicate whether the UE 115-b supports reporting actual PHR values for slots that are before or after the slot in which the PHR report is transmitted. In other words, the capability signaling may indicate whether the UE 115-b supports determining an actual PHR value based on scheduled uplink transmission repetitions before and / or after the transmission of the PHR report.
[0188]
[0190] At 610, the UE 115-b may receive control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) from the base station 105-b indicating one or more parameters / characteristics associated with PHR reporting at the UE 115-b. The base station 105-b may transmit the control signaling at 610 based on (e.g., in response to) the capability signaling at 605. In some aspects, the control signaling may semi-statically configure the UE 115-b to perform PHR reporting in the case of mTRP uplink transmission repetition. In other words, the base station 105-a may configure the UE 115-b to perform PHR reporting for mTRP uplink transmission repetition (e.g., PUSCH repetition) based on various capabilities indicated via the capability signaling at 605.
[0189]
[0191] For example, if the capability signaling at 605 indicates one or more PHR reporting configurations supported by the UE 115-b, the control signaling at 610 may indicate one of the PHR reporting configurations supported by the UE 115-b to be used for the PHR report. As another example, the control signaling may configure the UE 115-b to report one or two PHR values within a single PHR report for a given component carrier. As another example, the control signaling may configure the UE 115-b to report actual PHR values for PUSCH transmissions in slots that are before and / or after the slot carrying the PHR report. In other words, the control signaling may enable or trigger reporting of an actual PHR value calculated based on an uplink control iteration that is scheduled before or after the transmission of the PHR report.
[0190]
[0192] At 615, the UE 115-b may receive control signaling (e.g., a DCI message) from the base station 105-b. In some aspects, the control signaling may schedule multiple uplink transmission repetitions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions) including a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set (e.g., a first beam) and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set (e.g., a second beam). For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the UE 115-b may be scheduled to perform multiple PUSCH transmissions including PUSCH repetitions 315 associated with a first beam / first SRS resource set and PUSCH repetitions 315 associated with a second beam / second SRS resource set. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may receive the control signaling at 615 based on transmitting the capability signaling at 605, receiving the capability signaling at 610, or both. In some cases, the multiple uplink transmission repetitions (eg, PUSCH repetitions) may include multiple repetitions of the same uplink data message scheduled in the same component carrier.
[0191]
[0193] At 620, the UE 115-b may determine a PHR value for each set of uplink transmission repetitions. In particular, the UE 115-b may determine a first PHR value for a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set and a second PHR value for a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set. The UE 115-b may be configured to determine the PHR value at 620 based on transmitting the capability signaling at 605, receiving the capability signaling at 610, receiving the capability signaling at 615, or any combination thereof.
[0192]
[0194] In some aspects, the UE 115-b may determine a second PHR value for a second set of repetitions (e.g., a second set of PUSCH repetitions) according to a rule (e.g., a first rule) for determining a PHR value. In particular, the rule may be associated with a PHR determination for a plurality of sets of repetitions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions) corresponding to a plurality of SRS resource sets. In other words, the rule may be associated with a determination of a PHR value for an mTRP uplink transmission repetition. In some aspects, each of the first PHR value and the second PHR value may include one of an actual PHR value based on a transmission power of one of the uplink transmission repetitions, or a virtual PHR value based on a set of default / reference transmission power settings. The default / reference transmission power settings used to determine the virtual PHR value may include, but are not limited to, a reference power level value (P_O), a reference path loss compensation value (α), a reference path loss value (PL) associated with a reference signal, a reference closed loop index (l), or any combination thereof.
[0193]
[0195] At 625, the UE 115-b may generate a PHR report (e.g., a PHR MAC-CE). The generated PHR report may include the first PHR value and / or the second PHR value determined at 620. In particular, the PHR value included in the generated PHR report at 625 may depend on the PHR reporting configuration used to report the PHR value and / or the rule used to determine the PHR value at 620. Furthermore, the UE 115-b may generate the PHR report at 625 based on sending the capabilities signaling at 605, receiving the capabilities signaling at 610, receiving the capabilities signaling at 615, or any combination thereof.
[0194]
[0196] In some aspects, the PHR report may include one or more bit field values indicating whether the respective PHR values include actual or virtual PHR values, the relative order of the PHR values, or both. Additionally, as previously described herein, the relative order / placement of the PHR values included within the PHR report may be based on a number of factors, including the type of PHR value (e.g., actual PHR values may be placed in the PHR report before virtual PHR values), the corresponding SRS resource set (e.g., a first PHR value associated with an iteration corresponding to a first SRS resource set may be placed first in the PHR report), the relative order in the time domain of the uplink transmission iterations for which the respective PHR values were determined, etc.
[0195]
[0197] At 630, the UE 115-b may transmit one or more of the uplink transmission repetitions (e.g., PUSCH repetitions) scheduled by the control signaling (e.g., DCI) received at 615. In this regard, the UE 115-b may transmit the uplink transmission repetitions based on transmitting the capability signaling at 605, receiving the capability signaling at 610, receiving the capability signaling at 615, determining the PHR value at 620, generating the PHR report at 625, or any combination thereof. As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the UE 115-b may be configured to transmit one or more of the PUSCH repetitions in a TTI preceding the transmission of the PHR report, in the same TTI as the PHR report, in a TTI following the transmission of the PHR report, or in any combination thereof. In this regard, the relative order of the steps illustrated in the process flow 600 should not be considered limiting unless otherwise stated herein.
[0196]
[0198] At 635, the UE 115-b may transmit a PHR report to the base station 105-b. The UE 115-b may transmit the PHR report at 635 based on transmitting the capability signaling at 605, receiving the capability signaling at 610, receiving the capability signaling at 615, determining the PHR value at 620, generating the PHR report at 625, transmitting an uplink transmission repetition (e.g., a PUSCH repetition) at 630, or any combination thereof. Further, in some cases, the UE 115-b may transmit the PHR report at 630 within an uplink transmission repetition. For example, as shown in the first PHR reporting scheme 405 shown in FIG. 4, the PHR report may be included within an uplink transmission repetition scheduled by the DCI received at 615.
[0197]
[0199] Techniques described herein may provide improved PHR reporting in the context of associated linked PUSCH transmissions performed using multiple beams at the UE 115-b (e.g., mTRP). In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable the UE 115-b to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. By allowing multiple PHR values to be reported for an mTRP PUSCH repetition, aspects of the present disclosure may improve PHR reporting for the UE 115-b and may reduce the amount of signaling used for PHR reporting, which may lead to reduced control signaling and more efficient utilization of resources.
[0198]
[0200] 7 illustrates a block diagram 700 of a device 705 supporting techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions according to an aspect of the disclosure. The device 705 may be an example of an aspect of a UE 115 described herein. The device 705 may include a receiver 710, a transmitter 715, and a communications manager 720. The device 705 may also include a processor. Each of these components may be in communication with one another (e.g., via one or more buses).
[0199]
[0201] The receiver 710 may provide a means for receiving information such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels related to techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions). The information may be passed to other components of the device 705. The receiver 710 may utilize a single antenna or a set of multiple antennas.
[0200]
[0202] The transmitter 715 may provide a means for transmitting signals generated by other components of the device 705. For example, the transmitter 715 may transmit information such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels related to techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel iterations). In some examples, the transmitter 715 may be collocated with the receiver 710 in a transceiver module. The transmitter 715 may utilize a single antenna or a set of multiple antennas.
[0201]
[0203] The communications manager 720, the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may be examples of a means for performing various aspects of the techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions described herein. For example, the communications manager 720, the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may support a method for performing one or more of the functions described herein.
[0202]
[0204] In some examples, the communications manager 720, the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in hardware (e.g., in a communications management circuit). The hardware may include a processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof configured as a means for performing, or in some cases supporting, the functions described in this disclosure. In some examples, the processor and a memory coupled to the processor may be configured to perform one or more of the functions described herein (e.g., by the processor executing instructions stored in the memory).
[0203]
[0205] Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, the communications manager 720, the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in code executed by a processor (e.g., as communications management software). When performed in code executed by a processor, the functions of the communications manager 720, the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may be performed by a general purpose processor, a DSP, a central processing unit (CPU), an ASIC, an FPGA, or any combination of these or other programmable logic devices (e.g., configured as a means for performing or otherwise supporting the functions described in this disclosure).
[0204]
[0206] In some examples, the communications manager 720 may be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, monitoring, transmitting) using or otherwise cooperating with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both. For example, the communications manager 720 may receive information from the receiver 710, transmit information to the transmitter 715, or be integrated with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both to receive information, transmit information, or perform various other operations described herein.
[0205]
[0207] The communications manager 720 may support wireless communications in a UE according to examples disclosed herein. For example, the communications manager 720 may be configured or otherwise support as a means for receiving control signaling from a base station scheduling a set of multiple uplink transmission repetitions, the set of multiple uplink transmission repetitions including a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set. The communications manager 720 may be configured or otherwise support as a means for determining a first PHR value for the first set of repetitions and a second PHR value for the second set of repetitions, the at least the second PHR value being determined according to a first rule as either an actual value based on a transmit power of one of the sets of multiple uplink transmission repetitions or a virtual value based on a default transmit power setting, the first rule relating to a PHR determination for the multiple sets of repetitions corresponding to the multiple SRS resource sets. The communications manager 720 may be configured or otherwise support as a means for generating a PHR report including the first PHR value, the second PHR value, or both. The communications manager 720 may be configured or otherwise support a means for sending PHR reports to a base station.
[0206]
[0208] By including or configuring the communications manager 720 according to examples described herein, the device 705 (e.g., a processor controlling or otherwise coupled to the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, the communications manager 720, or a combination thereof) may support techniques that provide improved PHR reporting in the context of associated linked PUSCH transmissions performed using multiple beams at the UE 115 (e.g., an mTRP). In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable a UE to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. By allowing multiple PHR values to be reported for mTRP PUSCH repetitions, aspects of the present disclosure may improve PHR reporting at the UE 115 and reduce the amount of signaling used for PHR reporting, which may lead to reduced control signaling and more efficient utilization of resources.
[0207]
[0209] 8 illustrates a block diagram 800 of a device 805 supporting techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions according to an aspect of the disclosure. The device 805 may be an example of an aspect of the device 705 or UE 115 described herein. The device 805 may include a receiver 810, a transmitter 815, and a communications manager 820. The device 805 may also include a processor. Each of these components may be in communication with one another (e.g., via one or more buses).
[0208]
[0210] The receiver 810 may provide a means for receiving information such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof associated with various traffic channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, traffic channels related to techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions). The information may be passed to other components of the device 805. The receiver 810 may utilize a single antenna or a set of multiple antennas.
[0209]
[0211] The transmitter 815 may provide a means for transmitting signals generated by other components of the device 805. For example, the transmitter 815 may transmit information such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels related to techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel iterations). In some examples, the transmitter 815 may be collocated with the receiver 810 in a transceiver module. The transmitter 815 may utilize a single antenna or a set of multiple antennas.
[0210]
[0212] The device 805, or various components thereof, may be an example of a means for implementing various aspects of techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel repetitions described herein. For example, the communications manager 820 may include a control signaling reception manager 825, a PHR value manager 830, a PHR reporting manager 835, a PHR report transmission manager 840, or any combination thereof. The communications manager 820 may be an example of an aspect of the communications manager 720 described herein. In some examples, the communications manager 820, or various components thereof, may be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, monitoring, transmitting) using or otherwise cooperating with the receiver 810, the transmitter 815, or both. For example, the communications manager 820 may be integrated with the receiver 810, the transmitter 815, or both to receive information from the receiver 810, transmit information to the transmitter 815, or to receive information, transmit information, or perform various other operations described herein.
[0211]

The device 1405 may be or include an example of a component of a device 1105, device 1205, or base station 105 described herein. The device 1405 may wirelessly communicate with one or more base stations 105, UEs 115, or any combination thereof. The device 1405 may include components for two-way voice and data communication, including components for transmitting and receiving communications, such as a communications manager 1420, a network communications manager 1410, a transceiver 1415, an antenna 1425, a memory 1430, code 1435, a processor 1440, and an inter-station communications manager 1445. These components may electronically communicate or otherwise be coupled (e.g., operatively, communicatively, functionally, electronically, electrically) via one or more buses (e.g., bus 1450).
[0269]
[0271] The network communications manager 1410 may manage communications with the core network 130 (e.g., via one or more wired backhaul links). For example, the network communications manager 1410 may manage the transfer of data communications for client devices, such as one or more UEs 115.
[0270]
[0272] In some cases, the device 1405 may include a single antenna 1425. However, in some other cases, the device 1405 may have two or more antennas 1425 that may be capable of simultaneously transmitting or receiving multiple wireless transmissions. The transceiver 1415 may communicate bidirectionally via one or more antennas 1425, a wired link, or a wireless link as described herein. For example, the transceiver 1415 may represent a wireless transceiver and may communicate bidirectionally with another wireless transceiver. The transceiver 1415 may also include a modem for modulating packets and providing the modulated packets to the one or more antennas 1425 for transmission, and for demodulating packets received from the one or more antennas 1425. The transceiver 1415, or the transceiver 1415 and the one or more antennas 1425, may be an example of the transmitter 1115, the transmitter 1215, the receiver 1110, the receiver 1210, or any combination or components thereof as described herein.
[0271]
[0273] The memory 1430 may include RAM and ROM. The memory 1430 may store computer-readable computer-executable code 1435 including instructions that, when executed by the processor 1440, cause the device 1405 to perform various functions described herein. The code 1435 may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, such as a system memory or another type of memory. In some cases, the code 1435 may not be directly executable by the processor 1440, but may (e.g., when compiled and executed) cause the computer to perform functions described herein. In some cases, the memory 1430 may include a BIOS that may control basic hardware or software operations, such as interaction with peripheral components or devices, among other things.
[0272]
[0274] The processor 1440 may include an intelligent hardware device (e.g., a general-purpose processor, a DSP, a CPU, a microcontroller, an ASIC, an FPGA, a programmable logic device, a discrete gate or transistor logic component, a discrete hardware component, or any combination thereof). In some cases, the processor 1440 may be configured to operate a memory array using a memory controller. In some other cases, the memory controller may be integrated with the processor 1440. The processor 1440 may be configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in a memory (e.g., the memory 1430) to cause the device 1405 to perform various functions (e.g., functions or tasks supporting techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel iterations). For example, the device 1405 or a component of the device 1405 may include the processor 1440 and the memory 1430 coupled to the processor 1440, and the processor 1440 and the memory 1430 may be configured to perform various functions described herein.
[0273]
[0275] The inter-station communications manager 1445 may manage communications with other base stations 105 and may include a controller or scheduler for controlling communications with the UE 115 in cooperation with the other base stations 105. For example, the inter-station communications manager 1445 may coordinate scheduling for transmissions to the UE 115 for various interference mitigation techniques, such as beamforming or joint transmission. In some examples, the inter-station communications manager 1445 may provide an X2 interface within the LTE / LTE-A wireless communications network technology to provide communications between the base stations 105.
[0274]
[0276] The communications manager 1420 may support wireless communications in a base station according to examples disclosed herein. For example, the communications manager 1420 may be configured or otherwise support as a means for sending control signaling to a UE scheduling a set of multiple uplink transmission repetitions, the set of multiple uplink transmission repetitions including a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set. The communications manager 1420 may be configured or otherwise support as a means for receiving a PHR report from the UE including a first PHR value of the first set of repetitions and a second PHR value of the second set of repetitions, the first PHR value and the second PHR value being reported as either an actual value based on a transmit power of one of the sets of multiple uplink transmission repetitions or a virtual value according to a first rule based on a default transmit power setting, the first rule relating to a PHR determination for the multiple sets of repetitions corresponding to the multiple SRS resource sets.
[0275]
[0277] By including or configuring a communications manager 1420 according to examples described herein, the device 1405 may support techniques that provide improved PHR reporting in the context of associated linked PUSCH transmissions performed using multiple beams at the UE 115 (e.g., mTRP). In particular, aspects of the present disclosure may enable a UE to support different rules for reporting multiple PHR values for a single component carrier when the component carrier is scheduled for PUSCH repetitions using multiple beams. By allowing multiple PHR values to be reported for mTRP PUSCH repetitions, aspects of the present disclosure may improve PHR reporting at the UE 115 and reduce the amount of signaling used for PHR reporting, which may lead to reduced control signaling and more efficient utilization of resources.
[0276]
[0278] In some examples, the communications manager 1420 may be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, monitoring, transmitting) using or otherwise cooperating with the transceiver 1415, one or more antennas 1425, or a combination thereof. Although the communications manager 1420 is shown as a separate component, in some examples, one or more functions described with respect to the communications manager 1420 may be supported or performed by the processor 1440, the memory 1430, the code 1435, or a combination thereof. For example, the code 1435 may include instructions executable by the processor 1440 to cause the device 1405 to perform various aspects of techniques for reporting PHR for multiple uplink shared channel iterations described herein, or the processor 1440 and the memory 1430 may be otherwise configured to perform or support such operations.
